from Free Press
Price: $19.80
Customer Review:
This was a tough book for me to read and, in fact, I'm still trying to get through it. As others have said the material is covered with generalities and lacks specifics. Perhaps its purpose is to explain the lean mindset which is fine but it is still a tough read. | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
This is the first book I've read on Six Sigma and WOW! did it do a great job of covering everything I ever wanted to know.

Warren Brusee gets right into the thick of Six Sigma from the very beginning. The author discusses shortcuts and simpler methods than traditional Six Sigma processes that are equally as effective.
Statistics and Quantitative Methods have never been particularly friends of mine. This book is... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I liked the author's earlier "Lean Sig Sigma," developed for manufacturing applications.
